Interim Pastor’s Column --- The Rev. Dr. Gerald (Gerry) C. Hanberry...

I don’t know about you all, but I love the

summertime. I love being outside,

working in my small and limited

vegetable garden, mowing grass (even

though I ride the wrong color lawn mower

– and yes I own it), weeding and

trimming and all the rest. One of the

reasons I enjoy this outside work is that

it’s usually time spent with Pat, my wife.

She is an avid gardener and has a

beautiful flower garden all around our

house. Sharing this time together, even if

we’re in different parts of our yard, is a

gift.

I also love working outside in the garden

because it gets me down on my knees in

the earth, in the dirt, in the heart of God’s

good creation. This invites me to

pray…sometimes.

I grew up on a very large dairy farm in

South Carolina, where my dad was a

poorly paid supervisor of those men and a

few of us young guys (kids really) who

farmed the crops. There were a couple

thousand acres of corn, hay and oats. I

drove a tractor (a little red one compared

to the tractors of today) doing plowing –

in those days the ground was turned and

harrowed after every crop was cut or

harvested—and some summers I bailed

hay and straw almost all summer long.

And by the way, the going wage for me

and for those grown men --most of them

lived in a “company” house owned by the

farm (Edisto Farm Dairy)—was $4.00 a

day. And a day, of course, was sunup to

sundown. Not even then a living wage.

Mostly a throw-back to the days of

slavery.

It was hard work but I got to “drive a

tractor” most all the time. For me in those

years, that was pretty cool.

My dad, who was called “Big Daddy” by

just about everyone in the town of

Denmark, loved his own vegetable garden

by our house. He plowed that garden

with his favorite mule, Kitt. Even though

my dad has been gone since 1992, I can

still see him out in that garden plowing

Kitt…yelling “haw or gee” (haw was for

the mule to turn or pull to the left and gee

to the right). Big Daddy was at his best,

was in his glory, was happiest, I think,

working in his garden.

And that’s the other reason I love working

outside in the dirt in my garden. I get to

spend time with Big Daddy. Sometimes,

I must confess, I don’t think he would

approve of the way I plant things or the

way I use my motorized tiller to plow the

garden. But, you know, when I stand

back and see the tomatoes and peppers

and squash flourishing and producing

delicious food for our table and I know he

is smiling down on me with pride and

love.

That’s part of why this experience for me

is so special. It is possibly one of the

most spiritual experiences of my life.

Being down on my knees in God’s good

earth, kneeling and praying, talking with

my dad (or should I say with my father in

heaven) is such a good and loving place to

be. It is my spiritual practice. It is my

spiritual connection with the earth, with

my dad, with my early life and with my

God.

I hope there is something like this that

you love this summer. I hope in whatever

that might be that you are blessed and that

out it you become a blessing.

Faithfully, Pastor Hanberry

Wellness Get Moving and Get Healthy

Just 30 minutes a day of physical activity is

enough to reap abundance of health

benefits. It’s not as hard as you

think. One of the best activities

for improving your health and

controlling your weight is also

the simplest: walking.

10 reasons to start walking: Going for regular,

brisk walks may………..

- Help you lose weight and maintain that loss.

-Improve cholesterol levels and blood

pressure.

- Reduce your risk of having a heart attack or

stroke.

- Decrease your risk of developing type 2

diabetes

- Lower your risk of getting several types of

cancer.

- Help prevent bone loss and injuries

resulting from falls.

- Reduce pain and disability stemming from

arthritis.

- Boost your energy, optimism and

enthusiasm.

- Ease any stress, depression and anxiety you

are feeling

- Help you get a better night’s sleep.

Walking is a great form of exercise for people of all

sizes and ages. But to be on the safe side, check

with your doctor before starting any new exercise

routine, if you have a long term medical condition

such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes

or arthritis.

Notes & Thank Yous

Betty and members of St Matthews UCC,

Thank you for including us in your annual picnic this

year. Even though the weather didn't cooperate, we

were able to enjoy a picnic lunch and meet some new

folks at St Matthews. Keep in mind, that most us of

present are lifelong members of Baust and have lived

and worked in the area much of our lives.

Consequently, we knew many of the folks present.

We look forward to having more joint activities with

your church.

Once again, thank you for the invitation. it was most

appreciated.

~ Sandy

Special Thank You!

A special thank you to Betty Cree and her helpers,

who worked very hard at planning and organizing the

Church Picnic. Unfortunately, the rain drove us

indoors, but the rain did not dampen the spirits and fun.

It was great to meet for the first time or reacquaint

ourselves with some folks from Baust. One thing we

have in common with Baust- is that both churches have

really good cooks!

Dear St. Matthew’s,

Thank you so much for the card and money. I

loved the card. The money will go towards my books

for college. Thank you so much again.

~ Jenn Mora

Quilting GroupThe Quilting Group recently worked on quilted

bedrunner to be given to Pastor Dale andDiana. Unfortunately, the project was notcompleted in time to be presented to them ontheir last day with us. Happily, we were ableto present the bedrunner and matching pillowto Diana when she visited our group in May.

We took pictures and they will be on the table in theentrance soon.

Book ClubJuly's book is Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet

Beecher Stowe. This meeting date to beannounce later. Please join us for a lively and

sometimes silly discussion that always includesgood snacks and great people. If you are

interested in joining us please contact Vicki at410-751-9394 or vhuberg@gmail.com

Fallfest UpdateFallfest is right around the corner. It is hard to imagine

on these hot steamy days. Now is the time to plan how

you can help. One way is to make a

monetary donation, to help defray the

upfront expenses, such as the rent of the

fire house, and the entertainment.

Maybe you can skip a fancy coffee once

a week and donate that money or

consciously set back money for that

purpose. We have placed change jars in

church, to help ease your back pain from

all the change you have in your pockets.

When you donate your change it helps you and the

church. The next Fallfest meeting is July 24 at 7:00,

everyone is welcome to help plan.

Pastor Hanberry’s

Approach to and Policy forPastoral Care

Confidentiality in all communications withpeople in the church is my policy – always. Inother words, “what is shared with me, stayswith me.”

If a person in the church is ill or in the hospital orgoing to have surgery, I will always ask, “whatdo you want me to share with the church aboutyour illness, your surgery, etc., if anything?” I, of course, will honor your request andpreferences.

Some folks prefer that their illness or a hospitalstay be kept private. Others are more open tosharing with the congregation or desire prayersfrom the church community. I prefer to followthe wishes of the individual or family directlyrather than responding to what one might call“hear-say.” Folks in the congregation may sharewhatever they choose; however, my policyrequires that I speak directly with the person or aprimary family member before I share news abouta person’s life circumstances.

Please feel free to contact me at anytime via mycell phone (301-788-6546) to request a visit, toshare a health issue or a pastoral care need. Giventhe flexibility I will have in serving two churches(St. Matthew’s and Emmanuel (Baust), I will bein a good position to respond to your pastoral careneeds as they arise.

Gifts and Talents Shared Many of our members have musical talents. It is truly a

blessing for them to share those gifts and talents. Special

thank you to Baleigh Geiman who shared a saxophone

solo, Deanna Lui an organ solo, Justin K. a piano solo and

Ryleigh Geiman a clarinet solo.

Meeting and Events

CalendarsMonthly calendars up to December2013 are on the bulletin board in theentrance hall to the church. Pleaseremember to list the meetings orspecial events your committee/teamhas planned. This information is usedin the weekly bulletin and monthlynewsletter.

Pastor Gerry’s recent sermon series focused on Micah 6:8– What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to lovekindness, and to walk humbly with your God.

One interpretation of “to love kindness” is to desire to dogood for others. Is there any better way to “love kindness”that to reach out to those around us and share our God-givengifts and talents?

Don’t forget that our Talents and Needs Program is an on-going project at St. Matthew’s! Let’s everyone find a way tolove kindness over the next few months by finding ways thatwe can reach out to those in our membership and in thecommunity who might need a helping hand—someone whomight benefit from the sharing of our gifts and talents withhim or her. If you have a “need” for someone else’s specialgift (or talent), just pass a note to one of the Elders, put yourneed request in the offering plate, or enter your request on theboard in the hallway outside of the office.

“We all have something we know, or know how to do,that can be used to help someone else.”

“If a person gives you his time,he can give you no more precious gift.”

“Let God use you to make a difference in someone’s life.”

…. LOVE KINDNESS

Worship Plan for St. Matthew’s UCC July 7 – Sept 1, 2013Theme: “Faith’s 7 Persistent Questions”

“Faith is a quest.” Faith is a journey. Faith is the process of living our lives in the inner placesof our souls and in the world in which we join others in our families, work, play, worship andministry.

Thus, faith is not something we have that we can put away at night or on vacation or leave athome while we live in the world. Faith is not something we bring to church on Sunday. FaithIS a quest or a “journey of seeking God and keeping the quest alive.”

The quest –almost always—raises more questions than answers. And when we do findanswers to our questions and doubts they are often only fleeting in their support.

For this series of worship in the summer of 2013, here are Faith’s 7 Persistent Questions wewill explore:

1. Who is God for me?2. What does it mean to be spiritual?

3. What does it mean to follow Jesus?4. What is Salvation?

5. What does the cross tell us about God?6. Is the Bible worth reading over and over again?

7. Why go to Church?Our worship will involve a video clip of a leading Christian voice (in a seven-minute) addressing each of these 7 PersistentQuestions. Each presenter gives an animated, inspiring and creative way to explore the question. Pastor Hanberry willprovide his reflections and help us build connections between the question, the video presenter and our own ideas andresponses.

We will also sing and pray and experience a few variations on worship as we usually enjoy our time on Sunday morning. Thatis, just for these seven Sundays, worship will be a little different each Sunday. Always, our goal is to provide worship thatinspires, teaches and challenges.

Please not only pray for worship this summer but join us and discover some new ideas, uncover what you’ve been strugglingwith in your own faith quest and to deepen your commitment to the journey of faith in the 21st Century.

So, gather a friend or a neighbor and join us for worship this July and August.
